Dear Sir

When I am after “Epipactis palustris”, in July, I see Meneanthes in profusion—& in bloom—²

—Whether I shall as easily recognize it now, I cannot tell—but I fully believe that I should—& I will see to it the first spare day—

—Typhus, & Scarlet Fever, are each as bad as true Oriental “Plague”—only we handle them somewhat better than does the stupid Turk—³

—But even in England, whenever any treatment out of the common course—any departure from old worn rut & groove, is suggested to a Medical Man, he becomes as Mad as a Hatter; & had much rather see all his patients, & all his own family, die, than depart in any way from the old stereotyped formula—

—It is my firm belief that there does exist a Medecine which is not only a “prophylactic” against the access of either of those two fevers; but also possessed of the power of mitigating, assuaging, & subduing them, when they have got hold of the human frame—

—In the last year or two “Ozone” has not merely knocked off their pedestals those nauseous & dangerous disinfectants

Chloride of Soda Chloride of Lime

Chloride of Zinc

but has itself come to the very front as a disinfectant, in a pure, sweet, & even enjoyable shape—

A patient suffering from Scarlet Fever, ought to drink (ad libitum, & whenever the Tongue is parched) of

Condy’s pure Ozonised Fluid”

largely diluted with Water—

—It is impossible for a Fever patient to drink too much of it—& the Mouth sh^d. be rinsed with it incessantly—

—It is so entirely harmless also, that any person in sound health, may drink it to any amount, as a pleasant daily diet drink, at Meals instead of Beer, Wine, &c &c—but it should be largely diluted— & all its effects are beneficial—without any strain upon the constitution—⁴

2^dly— in fever, the patient should be placed in a bath of tepid Water, into which should be poured several bottles of the “Ozonised fluid”—or, (better still) one large bottle of “Condy’s Ozonised Disinfectant”—(which is the same Medecine, in a stronger shape)—

Every Chemist sells each of these Medecines

By this Mode of treatment—the patient rapidly Convalesces—& the Medical Man becomes infuriate—

Your’s most sincerely | G. Chichester Oxenden
